I can’t help but laugh as I type this post for these santa fe chicken salad wraps. Because, in reality these should really be called ‘most-tortuous-grocery-shopping-trip-ever-$150 Santa Fe Chicken Salad Wraps’.
For real, I had all three kids with me because my oldest was home sick from school and the preschooler was off for the day. I normally go shopping alone but I had to go to store to get the ingredients for these wraps. I kid you not, I spent $150 on that shopping trip!! I only had 7 things on my list. I can’t even tell you what I bought, but I am pretty sure it’s all my kids’ fault 🙂
I promise you that these wraps are not that expensive. Just don’t take your kids when you go shopping for the ingredients…..
Mix up an easy sante fe chicken salad; chicken (use a rotisserie for best results), canned corn, black beans, red bell pepper, and a delicious creamy dressing. Mix it all together and either use right away or keep it in the fridge until you need it.
I prefer to make the chicken salad part ahead of time so that way it has time to get cold in the fridge. When it’s dinner I just prepare the avocado, lettuce, tomato, and then pull our the chicken salad in the fridge. Easy!
Lay out your tortilla and layer your ingredients. We love these with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and avocado slices. You could also add some shredded cheese and even some rice too —> I have added rice to these and it is really yummy! I use this cilantro lime rice recipe.
I always laugh at my husband when we eat wraps or burritos because he kind of just folds and squishes it together and then eats it. It bugs me. Not sure why 🙂 Probably because I’m a perfectionist when it comes to food. I can’t handle it all squishy and uneven. It has to be a tight, neat, clean roll…… I know, I’m crazy!?!?
I love wraps during the hot summer days because it means I don’t have to turn on my oven. Anything that helps keep the house cool is a win in my book. Technically if you choose to not use a rotisserie chicken then you do have to turn on something to cook the chicken. But, I highly suggest buying a rotisserie chicken (the best ones are at Sam’s Club or Costco) and making these wraps.
These are so yummy, filling, but yet feel really light. I hope you enjoy them! Let me know if you try them!

Instructions

- Use right away or allow to sit in fridge for 2-3 hours to get cold.
- When ready, heat up the tortilla to make them soft (so they don't tear) and then lay your desired ingredients onto the tortilla and then roll up like a burrito and cut in half.
Notes
You don't have to refrigerate the chicken salad mixture but I think it tastes so much better when it's cold and the flavors have had time to come together.
